Whether she is contemplating the history of walking as a cultural and political experience over the past 200 years (Wanderlust), or using the life of photographer Eadweard Muybridge as a lens to discuss the transformations of space and time in late 19th-century America (River of Shadows), Rebecca Solnit has emerged as an inventive and original writer whose mind is daring in the connections it makes. A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Solnit's own life to explore issues of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown. The result is a distinctive, stimulating, and poignant voyage of discovery.

And i love every Solnit book I’ve ever read. The book the words the exploration the vocabulary style of meandering as if exploring. The tone the voice the pace. Everything is perfect. Everything is perfect.

Possibly my favourite book by Solnit

I loved listening to this book. Solnit weaves her personal stories, other narratives and theory to try to explain all that being lost in the world is a mindset. Would definitely recommend reading or listening to the book.

Great book!

I’ve listened to a few audiobooks which were narrated by the author, which is rarely successful. Solnit drones on in a monotone narration making it difficult to follow. Narration is performative making it ideal to leave for a trained voice actor to do.

Authors should not Narrate their own Books

I LOVE her writing, and her storytelling. This is really an autobiography that is wide-ranging, focussing on a particular friendship, but not exclusively. She touches on so many aspects of existence and inner and outer experience that it feels like the best kind of hangout time with an intelligent, interesting and deep friend.

My only complaint is that her voice tends towards the monotone. I found myself using it as a go-to if I was having trouble getting to sleep. Did it for me most times. lol. That being said, I haven't listened much in daytime, and I suspect that in waking hours I would not get sleepy. Her framing of life is compelling, like following a path through a beautiful and mysterious forest.

Great writing, Author's reading in monotones

Had read this before, and loved it, but the audiobook was absolutely terrific. The research that went in to this really adds to the personal stories.
